About Me

Name:
Location: Way Down South, United States

Bayou Child once lived on a great mountain overlooking a wild rushing river. After seven years of meditation, she made two discoveries. First, she realized she didn't know anything. Secondly, she found that nothing matters except love. So she moved back to the place she had come from, the bayou - a slow moving body of water in the Deep South. Bayou Child, a shy but friendly person, has done many things including writing, editing, publishing books, counseling, teaching psychology, creating serigraphic and lithographic designs, and weaving in a cotton mill. She doesn't do most of those things anymore. Instead, she sits by the bayou, feeds the ducks, and hopes for the best. Bayou Child is mother of two shining souls, one of whom went back to God a few years ago. The other lives in an artsy, west coast community and works in communications. Bayou Child currently lives with her great love of many decades, a handsome, creative man who teaches/writes psychology.

In Mark Bittner's case, the sign he needed swooped down in the form of three bright green conures (aka red-masked parakeets) who landed on steps outside his North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco. The next day, all 26 of them showed up.... "
